Are You Screening the Nationwide New Scholar Welcome on Your Campus?

We highly encourage you to provide an opportunity for New Scholars to come together in-person on your campus to screen our virtual Nationwide New Scholar Welcome event held on Thursday, August 7th, 2025, 2pm EDT, 11am PT, 1pm CT. You will be receiving New Scholar Swag before the event, so it will be great timing to distribute to your incoming Scholars.  

Here is the event flyer that you can share with your Scholars. If you are organizing a screening and/or orientation, please let us know by completing the Screening/Orientation Form by tomorrow, Thursday, July 31st, 2025.

If you are not screening the event but still would like to join us in celebration of our New Scholars, please register.

For questions, please contact Chris.Aviles@thedream.us

Let Us Know of Scholar Emergency Cases

As the first in line of contact with our Scholars on-campus, we deeply appreciate your immediate notification of a Scholar’s immigration emergency. To help us identify and determine whether TheDream.US can assist with a Scholar’s immigration case in any way, please bookmark this form. Complete this Partner College Emergency Form as soon as you are aware of a Scholar that is: 

• Detained, facing removal (not detained), deported 
• Self-deported or intends to self-deport
• Experiencing DACA renewal issues

Next Week: Last Chance to Renew Scholarship

You can track Renewal decisions for your Scholars by running the “PC Scholar Report” in your ISTS PC Portal.  

Scholars and Partner Colleges are able to readily access the reason for a renewal denial. Scholars must log into their ISTS Scholar Portal to access this information and Partner Colleges can access this information in the “PC Scholar Report” under Column AC.  

Looking Ahead: If Scholars missed the initial Renewal deadline, they will have a last chance opportunity to renew their scholarship between August 4 and August 10. These Scholars will be getting a heads-up email this week to prepare.
